How bad is the problem of insecure software, and can it be fixed? Ask the Expert - Jeremiah Grossman

Frank Kim and I are working on a series of posts where we ask experts on security and software development hard questions about the essential problems of building secure software. The first of these posts is an interview with Jeremiah Grossman, CTO of WhiteHat Security.

Jeremiah takes on some of the biggest and hardest questions: How big is the AppSec problem? The software community is made up of a lot of smart people. Why haven't we been able to solve the problem of writing secure software? And Is the problem solvable?

There are lots of hackers around us who anyhow finds a way to hack the application or software that are being secured. I think that hackers are getting more talented and we need to be more talented to provide secure applications.

About Me

I am an experienced software development manager, project manager and CTO focused on hard problems in software development and maintenance, software quality and security. For the last 15 years I have managed teams building and operating high-performance financial systems.
My special interest is how small teams can be most effective in building real software: high-quality, secure systems at the extreme limits of reliability, performance, and adaptability. Software that has to work, that is built right, and built to last.
I use this blog to explore ideas and problems in software development that are important to me. To reflect and to find new answers.
